Cold Weather Logistics...

It has been so cold here that I can't remember the last time the boys got to go outside and play. Has it been 2 weeks? 3 weeks? It's been a long time. I usually will let them go out if it's sunny and 0 degrees or warmer, and if it's overcast and windy it has to be 10 degrees or warmer. We've had some beautiful sunny days the last few weeks, but the temperatures stayed very close to the -20's.

Seriously. I live in Antarctica.

Unless you live somewhere that gets this cold, you don't really think about the normal day to day things that are effected...

Like driving....

They salt the roads here, salt rusts cars. So, I try to get a car wash whenever I get gas. However, the car washes don't work unless it's 0 degrees or warmer. It's been about four weeks since I've had a car wash, and I can't even see my van anymore.

Thankfully, there is a great product on shelves made by Prestone. They sent us a couple products actually... a windshield de-icer that Tim grabbed and took to his car since he has to park his car outside at work all day long. He said it works really fast and he wants to get more. I park in the garage, so I got the Prestone washer fluid booster I love it. It cleans my windshield without freezing... So while the rest of my van is covered in salt and residue and who knows what, my windshields are clean with a nice sparkle.
